Guy Pelly is back in clubland

Welcome back! Guy Pelly launched Tonteria in Sloane Square last night after complaints by local residents led to the closure of his last venture, Public. Pelly is hopeful that critics will judge his Mexican-style bar on its own merits.

“I get annoyed by people who haven’t come to my clubs and assume they are only successful because of my contacts,” he told the Londoner. The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry were otherwise engaged last night, but guests including Chelsy Davy and Otis Ferry were on hand once Guy had ensured the décor was up to scratch. “I was literally still hammering things into walls this afternoon,” he said.
